You can see how your TeX document looks in typeset form before
you print it.
This step begins with the .dvi file produced by
compiling your .tex file (see
`The TeX production cycle').
You must be using X-Window system to preview your TeX document. Type this command:
xdvi yourfile.dvi
The first page of your document should appear in a new window.
Here are some common commands for xdvi:
q: Quit the program.
n: Go to the next page.
p: Go to the previous page.
d: Move down to the bottom of the page.
u: Move up to the top of the page.
Refer to the man page for xdvi for a full list of commands.
